Two little girls and a bigger one, all with a dora rucksack and one with an umbrella.I saw them in a corner of an eye and was glad I had the 200 mm.
This place - old Harbour Bay - is very authentic and very much off the beaten track. I couldn't stay for the black magic night, helas.

Bonjour Gerrit

Bravo et bonne journée.

Hello Gerrit.
What a beautifully sharp and superbly coloured photo. Great work to capture this trio with your long lens. The girls' outfits are so well echoed by the umbrella and the blue shack in the background. I love the 'stuff' and the signs, too. A delightful picture.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Gerrit

A superb daily life scene, animated by the inclusion of numerous people. Nice symmetry between the identically attired girls, with excellent colour & sharpness. Tfs!

What a gorgeous image where the pristine family group, presumably on the way to school, contrasts so strongly with the surroundings. The Black Magic is a scary issue. Good observation
Kath

Hi Gerrit. I find this momento full of tenderness, not to mention the colorfull world of this two little girls, and of course the caribbean mood, which is quite clear here even if eventually we didnt know where it was taken. Congratulations. Take care.

Hello Gerrit,
Very nice daily life scene...Especialy the two little girls gives a nice even a funny sense to the image.Splendid colors all around also!

Dag Gerrit,

You saw very well and very nice one. Are they twins? Maybe it's not related with Jamaica but I saw some students in blue here and recognized lately that they are twins. Good capture, wonderful. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Hello Gerrit,
Wonderful capture of these darling twins identically clad in warm bright blue. The two little ones are seen holding hands with the big girl reaching to make one unit of Dora fans on their happy way to school.

Dag Gerrit,

Misschien beter dat u niet kon blijven voor de magische nacht, misschien kon u s'anderendaag niet eens meer fietsen!
het uniform spreekt mij altijd aan voor scholieren, alleen al voor de kleding jaloursie te vermijden.
Mooi beeld van de twee kleine meisjes met hun rugzak en de versiering in hun haar, de regenscherm of zonnescherm is een sierraad voor deze jonge dame.
Bedankt!

Groeten,
John.

salut gerrit
pas de jaloux habillées pareils, même cartable, même coiffure, même taille, est ce des jumelles ?
belle lumiére pour cette photo qui donne des couleurs au top
amitiés

Mother and daughters are captured in a very good scene as a composition.
Very very good seen.
Cheers

A well framed candid shot, full of wonderful colour thanks to the uniform of these girls, the umbrella and the blue door. All is nice and sharp.
Best wishes
Mark

hi Gerrit

I like the 3 girls in contrasting colored dress code and against the backdrop, with light and shadow play. Good composition in this sharp pov and great daily life scene.

TFS, bill

Hi Gerrit

Have a nice weekebd

Ola Gerrit,
Encantadora esta tua foto , é um belo momento as duas raparigas iguais , gostei muito das cores, parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

July 7th! I still have a chance. But my intention is to be in Indonesia on that day, but you never know. Despite the backs being turned, the fact that we can see the face of the big girl, makes it work. I also like how the cartoon on the big girl's bag matches that of the little ones (and it seems the umbrella as well, I don't know what this Dora is)

Hello Gerrit,
a poem in blue is waht this lovely scene reminded me when I opened the photo.
How lovely this scene is with the two little girls and this lady all conected by the Dora bags and the hands gestures.
Beautiful one, glad you had your telelenses to capture this wonderful scene.
Cheers.
Paulo

Hallo Gerrit,
Het is heel lief dat ze alle drie dezelfde tassen hebben, en het beeld is mooi zaamen gebracht door de verschilende plekke met de blauwe kleur. Compositie is ook mooi met de woorden in de agtergrond.
Groetjes
Wanda

Hi Gerrit. Just beautiful. How much time and care went into those cute ribbons and beads! And love.Strong sense of place. Beautiful colours and light. I love it. Regards. Klaudio.

Gerrit, j'imagine la joie que tu as eu quand tu as fait la photo. Les deux petites sont superbes avec leur cartable mais la grande avec son sac et son ombrelle achève bien le tableau.

Hello Gerrit,
